According to
a release from the MPD, 52-year-old Johnny Foulks has been charged with murder
in the death of Saralyn Lewis, 50, who was a passenger in his car.

MPD's
investigation indicates that alcohol was a factor in the crash, the statement says.

Foulks was the driver of a
1999 Jeep Cherokee in the accident that occurred around 4:40 p.m. Sunday, Feb.
27. The Cherokee left the roadway and struck a utility pole at the intersection
of Rosa Parks Avenue and Jeff Davis Avenue.

Lewis was taken to Baptist Medical Center South, where she
later was pronounced dead. Foulks also was taken to Baptist for treatment of
non-life threatening injuries.

Following
his arrest Monday, Foulks was taken to the Montgomery County Detention
Facility, where bond was set at $75,000.

Lewis' death is the city's eighth traffic fatality and fifth homicide of the year.
